Pakistani journalist Muneer Shakir was shot dead in Khuzdar, Baluchistan, soon after covering a protest organised by a Baluch separatist organisation.
Shakir wrote for the Online News Network and was a correspondent for Baluch television station Sabzbaat.
Baluch separatist organisations have barred journalists from covering their activities.
Five journalists have died in Pakistan this year and no one has been arrested for any the murders.
Journalists are also alarmed at the disappearance of Rahmatullah Darpakhel, a reporter for the Urdu daily Ausaf and Aaj TV.
He was abducted five days ago in north Waziristan in the federally administered tribal areas near the border with Afghanistan.
